'''Outpost''' is a [[Firefight]] map in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. It is set near Sword Base and the Babd Catha Ice Shelf, largely melted due to the [[Covenant]]'s [[glassing]] of the area. The layout of Outpost is based on the [[campaign]] level ''[[The Package]]''.<ref>[http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=257971 '''CVG''': ''Halo: Reach screenshot avalanche'']</ref>

==Overview==
Outpost is a medium sized Firefight map with plenty of wide open spaces and lots of cover such as boulders, pieces of vehicles and containers that are scattered throughout the field. At one end there is a base and sitting on the left and right of it are two [[Cheru-pattern Tyrant|"Tyrant" Cannons]], one destroyed and one active. The base has an ammo supply inside and a [[M247H Heavy Machine Gun|Turret]] mounted on the roof. The only vehicle dropped on the map is the {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}.

==Locations==
The following are known locations on the map that are so named on the player's [[Heads Up Display|HUD]] during gameplay:
*ONI Road
*Deck
*Base Front
*Central Fire Zone
*Wrecked gun
*Active Gun

==Tactics==
*The building labelled "Deck" is the best camping spot. It has only one way leading to the roof: the stairs. All enemies except for [[Skirmishers]] and [[Sangheili Ranger]]s have to climb the stairs to get to the player(s). This strategy also compensates for the effect of the [[Halo 3 skulls#Black Eye|Black Eye Skull]], since the player(s) will most likely use melee attacks on the enemy in close range.
**Furthermore, the [[health pack]]s are located at the first floor and back of the building, making it easier to recover health. Also, the [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|frag grenades]] are spawned on the left side of the roof top while a [[M247H Heavy Machine Gun|turret]] is deployed on the right side. 
**The wall beside the staircase provides cover from the [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]]'s [[Heavy plasma cannon|turret]] fire. There is also a [[combat barrier]] at the front of the rooftop, which the player(s) can use to shield themselves from sniper fire by crouching in it.
**Players can replenish their weapons from the ammunition crate located along the building's left wall, the back of the building.
*The hazard on this map is the [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]], which can move around fast in the large map. Either use the [[H-165 FOM|Target Locator]] or the [[M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle/Assault Weapon|Rocket Launcher]] to destroy it. You can also kill the ghost if you stand still and shoot it with a dmr. This has proven useful in many scenarios when the ghost stays in the same spot and as long as you don't move, you can repeatedly shoot at it giving you points.
